In 1897 someone will have spend a week of salary to get it. And today, you can still purchase it with a week of salary.
So they was not an investment

I think they all paid less tax in the old days.........although they probably had less services, life expectancy of 45 or something like that.
So, we would have to earn twice as much these days to buy it, or two weeks.
